BY THE SAME AUTHOR
THE COLONEL OF THE
RED HUZZARS
A dashing romance, in which appear the same characters as in “The Princess Dehra.”
“So naïvely fresh in its handling, so plausible through its naturalness, that it comes like a mountain breeze across the far-spreading desert of similar romances.”—Gazette Times, Pittsburg.
